Hi Darnell. Could not agree with you more. While “certification” matters (a lot in some cases), there is nothing that bars experience. Then again, to get experience, one has to start somewhere 🙂 Good to see you here mate.

Google AdWords have much importance in SEO’s life because they can say to anyone i have certificate of Google Adwords and which will work great when you will plan to open your own business in online marketing.

It is certain that there are many who offer certifications these days. It really is a problem finding the right one.
Google will still remain as top priority for SEO. On my side of the planet, it still is)

There are few available certifications for individuals and companies related to AdWords and Analytics. I think Google just made a bit of change as previously it was required to visit some of the Google conventions at least in every 6 months, but I think this rule dropped since Google introduced hangouts.

Great article. Is the website for practice exams (certshelp.com) legit? Have you some experience with them? Apparently their website is live for only less than a year so I’m not sure if I can trust them.
